The method used in this research is the encoding-decoding reception analysis method by Stuart Hall, where the reception includes perception, thought, preference, and interpretation.The results obtained from this study indicate that the different receptions / meanings by the informants based on the experience and background of each informant are influenced by internal and external factors of the informants that Umsida Instagram is considered to be still lacking in providing information on student activities medically however, Instagram Umsida has advantages in providing information about PMB (New Student Admissions).

Texting as an Advising Communication Tool: A Case Study of Receptivity and Resistance

Texting has been identified as a tool that has the potential to enhance informational exchanges between academic advisors and students. We use focus group and survey data from a recent texting intervention to assess student and advisor receptivity to texting as a new mode of communication. The data reveal that most students immediately saw the benefits of this new tool. In contrast, advisors initially were very skeptical of its value. They raised concerns about having a voice in the content of the messages and the time commitment that would be needed to respond to students’ texts. Over time, this feedback led to modifications in the texting protocol and, in turn, advisors came to view texting as an important mechanism for improving communication with students. Our study ends with a discussion of texting best practices within the context of academic advising.

LIVING QUR’AN TERHADAP HALAQAH TAHFIZ AL-QUR’AN DI PONDOK PESANTREN AL-MIZAN MUHAMMADIYAH LAMONGAN

Memorizing the Qur’an is a form of reception for the Qur’an. This phenomenon demonstrates the performative function of the Qur’an outside the text. The purpose of this study was to determine the practice of Halaqah Tahfiz al-Qur’an activities and the form of treatment or reception of students of Al-Mizan Muhammadiyah Lamongan in the Halaqah activity. This research resulted in the knowledge that the activities of Halaqah Tahfiz al-Qur’an in Islamic boarding schools are compulsory and superior activities that become a vehicle and means of regeneration for students. The forms of treatment of students in the Halaqah Tahfiz al-Qur’an activities include: ablution before activities, praying, praying Hifz al-Qur’an, praying hajat, writing memorized verses, and muroja'ah. The meaning produced from the Halaqah T ahfiz al- Q ur’an activity follows the sociological theory of knowledge by Karl Mannheim including the objective meaning, the Halaqah Tahidz Qur’an activity is a compulsory and superior program initiated directly by KH. Drs. Sutaman and must be followed by all students who live there. As for the expressive meaning, the activities of the Halaqah tahfiz al-Qur’an bring benefits according to the way they treat the Qur’an. As for the meaning of documentary, the Halaqah T ahfiz al- Q ur’an activity is an activity without coercion and purely from the wishes of the students themselves, supported also by the motivation they get from themselves, their parents, and the Islamic boarding school caretakers. This research resulted in a new understanding and contribution reception package for the Living Qur’an research.

Between inclusion and exclusion: Teachers’ reflections about students with autism in public school

This paper writes about the reflections of four ordinary teachers and one special education teacher, of a public school in the school inclusion context. Analyze the reflections in relation to the acceptance and reception of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the school environment. The problem to be solved is the following: how do the acceptance and reception of students with ASD occur in the school? It configures in a snippet of a qualitative and field research based on Teixeira (2010) and Oliveira (2012), developed in a public school in the municipal education system located in Belém-PA in 2017. The theoretical contribution of the investigation was anchored on Orrú (2012, 2016) and Mantoan (2013, 2015), that study and research about autism and school inclusion. The reflections of the five teachers reveal alarming situations, such as resistance to accepting and welcoming of students with autism in the school context, because some factors interfere in the classroom and school routine, which calls the need of this space to reflect and revise his pedagogical proposal. However, the research also reveals educational situations that enable the school inclusion.

STUDENTS' RECEPTION OF COVID-19 NEWS ON CNN INDONESIA "GOOD MORNING" PROGRAM

The news of the coronavirus or Covid-19 has become a hot topic of discussion in the last few months. This article investigates the student's reception of the Corona Virus Alert segment broadcasted through the CNN Indonesia news program, "Good Morning." Using Stuart Hall's reception studies model, we conducted in-depth interviews with five students who watched Covid-19 news intensively on "Good Morning," CNN Indonesia. We found that students decode differently the meaning of messages conveyed by the information. Some coded the story in a hegemonic or dominant position --it means they agree with what and how the media frame the events and phenomena. On the other hand, some interpreted the meaning conveyed through the news with a different perspective, indicating they are in the oppositional position. They criticized the media for providing inaccurate, even factual, information. This study is vital in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic information storm conveyed by both the media and the public. It becomes a reference for how the audience can interpret news differently and can share their interpretations with the community according to what they receive.

A Dynamic, Interactive, 3-D Model of Protein Folding for Undergraduate Biochemistry

Dynamic biochemical processes are often difficult for students to grasp in the classroom using only static images and written descriptions in a textbook. This is particularly true for the protein folding process, a key biochemistry concept. 3-D models have been shown to improve student learning for many similar chemistry and biochemistry topics, but often these models are static representations which can’t show the dynamic nature of proteins. And while some are dynamic, such as simulation videos, these are typically passive learning experiences. A dynamic and interactive 3-D model has been developed and tested for a non-majors biochemistry course that shows the protein folding process using LEGOⓇ building blocks. Assessments of student learning using pre- and post-model activities, as well as student feedback will be presented. The new model shows a significant increase in student understanding of the learning objectives, as well as a positive student reception.

Developing Effective Screencast Modules for Teaching Computational Techniques in Remote Modalities.

Here we describe a systematic approach towards creating effective screencast based modules for teaching computational techniques in remote and online modalities. We adopted a multi-stage approach to create screencast videos that replaced in-person demos and active learning content in a finite element analysis based class. The stages include systematic preparation of video data and script; production stage, for recording and editing of captured video and audio; and post-production stage, for uploading generated media files into our learning management system. Modules were paired with assignments, thereby enhancing student learning and enabling assessment of module content efficacy. Our approach and technology received highly positive reception from students. Students also successfully navigated all associated assignments and final course project, which builds upon the content addressed in the modules. We identified several avenues for improvement in continued future offerings of such modules. We have outlined our design experience and student reception of screencast based modules for creating engaging learning content in remote teaching modalities. The description has been presented in form of teaching tips for other educators to adopt for their teaching needs.

Integration of educational technology during the Covid-19 pandemic: An analysis of teacher and student receptions

This study analyzes the integration of an educational technology platform and relates the difficulties faced amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Initially, we sought to identify the chief barriers educators face when considering the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Factors influencing primary and secondary education teachers’ (n = 15) and students’ (n = 335) perspectives on ICT integration for mathematics instruction were identified and analyzed from the perspective of different contexts (school vs home) and circumstances (in-person vs remote learning). Although we acknowledge the need for immediate decisions by educational stakeholders to facilitate online learning, our findings indicate the necessity of (a) careful examination of the features of potential platforms or tools and (b) a trial of such features prior to integration within an educational system. From an instructional design perspective, educational technologists should pay special attention to the degree of gamification, especially beyond the primary school level, as it may negatively impact incentives for student interaction and engagement. Where possible, the integration of technology should be driven by pedagogical goals and not technological pressures.

Intercultural Education in Schools: From Policies to Practices in Catalonia (Spain)

Intercultural education is considered to be the most appropriate pedagogical model to promote inclusion, coexistence, and social cohesion both in Catalonia and in other countries. However, its philosophy is often misunderstood at the political or practical level. In this regard, this article examines the connection between national policies and what really happens in schools in Catalonia (Spain), a pioneering region in the reception of foreign students and, therefore, also a pioneer in the inclusion of intercultural discourse. Specifically, we first examine the Catalonian policies aimed at managing cultural diversity and intercultural education that have been developed since the 2000s up until today. Secondly, we present the results of a quantitative study carried out in 545 primary schools in Catalonia, in order to acknowledge the practices implemented in schools to prepare students for living in our increasingly diverse society, as well as their needs and requirements to better achieve such a commitment. Results show that whilst schools are implementing actions aimed at both fostering the integration of culturally diverse pupils as well as enhancing the intercultural competence of all students, there are still some gaps at the political level that prevent schools from developing a holistic intercultural education.

Medical Student Education During COVID-19: Electronic Education Does Not Decrease Examination Scores.

During the COVID-19 emergency, medical students were mandated to remain home, creating challenges to providing education remotely for third-year clinical rotations. This study aims to assess student reception and investigate objective outcomes to determine if online learning is a suitable alternative. Medical students enrolled in the third-year surgical clerkship during COVID-19 were asked to participate in a survey. 19 of 27 (70%) students participated. Content, faculty-led lectures, and resident-led problem-based learning (PBL) sessions were assessed using a ten-point Likert scale. National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) examination, weekly quiz, and oral examination scores were compared to previous years. Student t-tests compared the groups. The median age was 25years. Comparing in-person to electronic sessions, there was no difference in effectiveness of faculty sessions preparing students for NBME (6.2 vs. 6.7, P = .46) or oral examinations (6.4 vs. 6.8, P = .58); there was also no difference in resident-led PBL sessions preparing students for NBME (7.2 vs. 7.2, P = .92) or oral examinations (7.4 vs. 7.6, P = .74). Comparing this group to students from the previous academic year, there was no difference in weekly quiz (85.3 vs. 87.8, P = .13), oral examination (89.8 vs. 93.9, P = .07), or NBME examination (75.3 vs. 77.4, P = .33) scores. Surgical medical didactic education can effectively be conducted remotely through faculty-led lectures and resident-led PBL sessions. Students did not have a preference between in-person and electronic content in preparation for examinations. As scores did not change, electronic education may be adequate for preparing students for examinations in times of crisis such as COVID-19.

Measuring the impact of incorporating systems thinking into general chemistry on affective components of student learning

Recently, there has been an increased interest in incorporating systems thinking content into various chemistry classrooms. One promise of systems thinking is that students will be able to connect typical chemistry concepts learned in lectures with real-life situations through context-rich instruction. Such experiences may impact affective factors related to learning such as motivation and attitude of students. These factors have often revealed negative orientation for students in chemistry courses, where the majority of students are externally motivated, whereas intrinsic motivation is positively correlated with students’ course performance. A modified Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS) and the short version of the Attitude towards the Subject of Chemistry Inventory (ASCIv2) were used to assess whether a systems-thinking instructional approach resulted in changes in students’ motivation and attitudes in general chemistry. Pre- and post-survey data suggest that a first-semester chemistry course that incorporates systems thinking does not induce significant positive changes in students’ motivation. End of the semester motivation and attitude levels were correlated with students’ ACS exam scores, where students with higher levels of intrinsic motivation showed better performance on the ACS exam. Although the results obtained in this study were not optimistic, they suggest several areas of study within systems thinking instruction as potential areas to improve both instruction and student reception of the systems thinking components of instruction.

An Uncanny Partnership: Impact of Increased Awareness on Receptivity of Indian High Schoolers to Robot Teachers

Robots have become an increasingly important part of our lives. They have been introduced in the education sector in the form of social robots with humanoid features that allow them to deliver lessons and interact with students. Despite the fact that research has shown that students aged 12 and below improve their learning when taught by robots and enjoy interacting with them, there are lingering concerns about their widespread use. The concerns include the lack of accountability, the impact of robots on normal socio-emotional development, and the dependence of robots on outside support. This research study aimed to assess the impact of increased awareness of the role of an assistant robot teacher in the classroom on the receptivity of high school students towards the inclusion of assistant robot teachers in the classroom. Specifically, the respondents were asked to rate their perceptions of the potential benefits of having an assistant robot teacher in the classroom before and after watching an informational video clip about an assistant robot teacher. The video clip features an Indian international school’s advocacy for the deployment of an assistant robot teacher. The results showed that the video clearly had a statistically positive impact on increasing the respondents’ receptivity towards having an assistant robot teacher. Based on the respondents’ responses, it is evident that they were clear about the strengths (vast knowledge repository, animation, graphics) and limitations (contextual response) of the robots.

PEMBAHARUAN AKSES PENDIDIKAN

This article discusses how parents' perceptions of students when responding to the zoning system in the New Student Reception System (PPDB), especially in the City of Blitar. This research is based on qualitative data obtained from the field (field research), both from primary sources: interviews and observations, as well as other secondary sources: studies on the development of PPDB studies that occur in Indonesia, both from print or electronic media. The results showed that parents of students still felt that the zoning system in PPDB did not provide free space in accessing education as desired. The government has changed the old pattern of society into a new, more complex arrangement in terms of educational facilities. In addition to having effectiveness in changing people's perceptions of the differences between favorite and non-favorite schools, this system is conceptually good, but it is not yet effective enough to equalize the quality of education, so there is still a need for deep integrative studies, strategic efforts between educational institutions and relevant agencies. This step can be done through optimizing the socialization of the PPDB zoning system to the community that promotes openness and is in favor of the people's aspirations.

O USO DE ROLE-PLAYING GAME COMO ESTRATÉGIA FACILITADORA NO PROCESSO DE ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM DE GENÉTICA

A educação brasileira apresenta diversas dificuldades, uma delas, o processo de ensino aprendizagem, é necessário que ocorra a utilização de estratégias e métodos diversificados e inovadores, que visem o aprimoramento desse processo, bem como, potencializar o interesse do discente, para que o mesmo desenvolva sua capacidade de análise crítica. Nesse sentido, o professor como mediador, deve criar conexões com os saberes abordados durante as aulas aos conhecimentos prévios dos alunos. Nesse contexto, o ensino de genética muitas vezes permanece centrado em metodologias baseadas apenas na transmissão e recepção de informações, através de aulas exclusivamente expositivas. Desse modo, é necessário que o docente como mediador do processo de ensino e aprendizagem utilize estratégias que permitam ao aluno, ser um protagonista na construção do conhecimento. Nessa perspectiva, os jogos didáticos são uma ferramenta metodológica importante e consequentemente facilitadora no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. O presente estudo teve como objetivo, analisar as contribuições do uso de um jogo didático no ensino de genética, desenvolvido no formato role-playing, para alunos de ensino médio, neste caso, o presente recurso foi utilizado no em uma instituição federal de ensino, no mês de agosto de 2019. Foi realizado um contato inicial com a profissional docente responsável por ministrar a disciplina de biologia, a fim de discutir o planejamento de execução desta proposta. Em seguida, foi agendada a execução do jogo no laboratório de informática da respectiva instituição. Por fim, os alunos foram convidados a responder um questionário eletrônico, objetivando verificar a opinião dos mesmo a respeito do uso da experiência metodológica proposta. Os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios, uma vez que foi notória a receptividade dos alunos em relação ao jogo, além da comprovação dos mesmos de que a falta de recursos como este pode prejudicar a aprendizagem. Desse modo, os jogos educativos, se bem planejados e executados, são de extrema relevância no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos conteúdos da genética. Nessa perspectiva, acredita-se que o presente estudo pode contribuir na reflexão acerca do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, bem como, estimular os docentes no planejamento de propostas diferenciadas, tendo como objetivo desenvolver em seus alunos autonomia, reflexão e criticidade buscando ainda promover espaços de descontração para a aprendizagem, contribuindo para que os mesmos sejam sujeitos ativos na construção de seu próprio conhecimento.

Culturally relevant constructionist design: exploring the role of community in identity development

PurposeMany initiatives seek to engage children in maker education. However, there is a paucity of research examining children’s engagement in making in low-income formal school settings. Likewise, little work has been done to explore the transformative perspectives of both the children and the people around them. This study aims to explore a Culturally Relevant Constructionist Design framework that emphasizes making as a way of building connections to ones’ community. The participants’ shifting perspectives and receptivity in engaging in maker activities that involve making inventions for their community, inspired by the nation’s most beloved figure, King Bhumibol are evaluated.Design/methodology/approachThis study investigates fourth-grade students, a teacher and community members around a public school in Thailand. Using qualitative research methods, data collection includes interviews, field notes observation, photos and videos of the sessions. This paper presents three case studies that represent the shifting perspectives and receptivity of teachers, community members and students through engaging in making experience. The first case illustrates the ways in which building for others supports the students’ formation of an identity of a creator. The two cases describe a teacher and a community member who developed new-found perceptions of students as valuable contributors to the community.FindingsThe findings highlight making inventions for the community as ways to connect teachers, community members and students together. The study also identifies key perceptions and experiences that empower students’ as contributors to their community. Through the process of making, the teacher and the community members also developed new-found positive perspectives of the students. Particularly, they viewed the students beyond traditional school performance metrics, and considered their other latent abilities.Practical implicationsThis study discusses these findings in light of previous research on maker education especially in low-income communities. It also showcases the role of making for the betterment of the community as a tool for engendering change in schools and empowering students to design and make personally and socially meaningful projects. The study also highlights how design-based research carried out in the international context, particularly in Thai locality and classrooms.Originality/valueThis study argues against the deficit lens that assumes a low sense of expectation for what students from lower-income schools can do. Students hold unique worldviews that lead them to create innovations relevant to their local and cultural needs. The study addresses this gap by designing a framework that emphasizes making relevant cultural connections to students’ communities. The study also showcases maker-centered experiences that enable students to express their ideas, to cultivate relationships, to help others and to see themselves in new ways. The perspectives of the participants hold implications beyond the predominant focus of maker education initiatives.
